2016-2020 Super Service Winners! Owner Duane Carr has worked in the HVAC industry since graduating from Thaddeus Stevens State College of Technology in 1997. Duane started Prime Heating and Air Conditioning to provide Syracuse and the CNY Region with a local, independently owned HVAC company that earns the trust of its customers by doing quality work at reasonable prices. With Duane's commitment to family and community, he's built his business to include his two brothers, Neal and Eric, to provide outstanding service and local community support.

"I called and my timing must have been perfect. 2 technicians showed up 30 minutes later. They put on shoe covers which I appreciate. They opened up the unit and checked the flame and spark. That must have been enough since the unit started working. They checked to make sure the propane was flowing and cleaned the condensation pan. Within 30 minutes after arriving, they were done. I plan to have them come back in a couple of months to maintain the ductless splits for this summer. What they charge for the service is very reasonable given that I had contacted a competitor and received a quote that more than 2x what I paid."

Since 1995, Peterson Plumbing and heating has been providing quality plumbing service to the Greater Central New York area. Starting a 10 foot by 10 foot office in the basement of owner Craig Peterson’s Cicero home, the company quickly developed a loyal customer base and a fantastic reputation for excellent customer service. Within a year, Peterson Plumbing moved into their own building on the north side of Syracuse and in 2002 moved to their current 430 square foot location in Liverpool. Peterson Plumbing primarily serves Onondaga County, but also works in Oswego, Oneida, Madison, and Cortland County as well. You may also see trucks working hard as far north as Watertown and East in Utica. No distance is too great to ensure quality plumbing service to Central New York.

"Rude, mean, unprofessional. So much for Craig Peterson's "about us" on his website as follows.... "Quality work backed by honest business principles and integrity" Owner yelled at me when I requested information on recent call to my home. No integrity at all."

Solar panel installations FAQs

Spring and fall offer the optimal time for scheduling an installation. Cooler weather means crews can work more efficiently without the summer heat slowing them down, and contractors often have increased availability between peak seasons. You’ll also avoid winter storms that can delay roof work. If you’re targeting a tax credit for the current year, aim to have the system running by December 31 so the credit can be applied.

Most systems recoup their post-tax-credit cost in six to 10 years. Your exact payback window depends on local utility rates, the amount of sunlight your roof receives, and the amount of energy you use. The higher your electric bill, the faster those panels work off their price tag. Add in the 30% federal tax credit and any state incentives, and you’ll start seeing true savings even sooner.

You can count on most panels to produce power for 25 to 30 years, and many monocrystalline models keep going for closer to 40. Thin-film options sit on the shorter end at 20 years. Staying on top of annual cleanings and quick repairs helps every panel reach the high end of its lifespan and protects your investment along the way.

Yes—if your system is properly sized, you can power an entire home with solar energy. A solar power designer will look at your yearly kilowatt-hour use, roof space, local sun hours, and whether you’re adding battery storage. When those pieces line up, the panels can cover all of your day-to-day needs and bank extra energy for nighttime or cloudy days.
